Celebrate Mom in Southport
Moms deserve the world! With Mother's Day right around the corner, it's the perfect time to plan a trip to Southport, North Carolina. Southport is a quiet, charming place along the water where you'll find plenty of ways to shower Mom with love and gratitude. To make planning this special getaway easier, we've created a list of special duo dates with Mom in mind.
Bubbles & Blossoms
Start your day, or mid-day, with bubbles and blossoms right in the heart of Southport.
Eat: Fizzy Jane's
Located along W. West Street, you'll find one of Southport's newest spots, Fizzy Jane's. Sister to the ever-popular area eateries like Cafe Koa, KoKo Cabana, Kai Joe's, and Ruby's Coffeehouse, Fizzy Jane's is a quirky restaurant, bar and lounge that also offers a beautifully-curated brunch menu along with a selection of delicious cocktails. Pair a plate of light and fluffy French toast with a Lavender French 75 cocktail and prepare for the best day ever!

Play: Wild By Nature
After filling your bellies with bubbly (and maybe a bite to eat), take a stroll down the live oak-lined streets to visit the boutiques that scatter the area. Be sure to stop by Wild By Nature, a local full-service florist that combines the beauty of nature and one-of-a-kind art to meet all your floral needs. During the spring and summertime, you can also find wildflower bouquets available right out on the street. Order a floral arrangement for pick-up or sty by to grab some fresh cuts before continuing on your day.

Fare & Ferries
For the dedicated sightseer Mom, a landlocked lunch paired with a ferry trip to Bald Head is the perfect way to spend a day that's all about her.
Eat: Provision Company
The Provision Company of Southport (which locals refer to as "ProCo") is a long-time favorite of locals and vacationers alike. This laid back restaurant sits right on the picturesque Intracoastal Waterway. Grab an ice-cold drink from one of the coolers, place your order for peel-and-eat shrimp or a tasty cheeseburger before grabbing your seat with a view. The covered patio will have you up-close-and-personal to one of the benefits of living the coastal life!

Play: Day Trip to Bald Head Island
Leave your worries behind and hop on the Bald Head Island Ferry for a day trip that Mom won't forget! Just a 20-minute ferry ride away, right off the North Carolina coast, you'll find Bald Head Island, an exclusive retreat only accessible by boat where times seemed to have stopped. Grab a coffee from Sandpiper Cafe or Delphina Cantina before renting your golf cart for a day of venturing. Visit Old Baldy, one of NC's oldest lighthouses, during one of the 2-hour guided tours.
